Run it, if you have a proper working one.

With the amal valve, the ECU is able to control boost, e.g. lower it when detecting too high ACTs.

If it works keep it.

On the same principal as "if it aint broke don't fix it"

Being stuck in high or low boost.

For example if your car only boosts half as much as it should (about 3 - 4 PSI on std cars)

as said before it allows the ecu to lower boost pressure if high ACTs are detected meaning less chance of melting something. if it's working correctly as advertised then you won't need a different setup so stick with it
